Garbage collection?

[mmliam]

I have a relatively short program that declares a few variables, performs a brief network operation then goes into deep-sleep awaiting a reboot.

Given these operations is "garbage collection" necessary; won't all memory be reinitialized at re-boot?

The "link" may not work.

Link is dead

I can't get them to work ... do a copy/paste or go to ideas and look at the POWER_ON RESET idea.

Don't use the "Add a link" button, just write the link and GitHub will make it work: https://github.com/orgs/micropython/discussions/9345

Gosh ... thanks.

Yes that is correct. All MicroPython state will be re-initialised, the heap is zero-initialised at start-up.

jimmo, Thanks for the confirmation
